"Dickens creates the Victorian city of Coketown in Northern England to critique the industrialist economy he believed exploited the lives of the working class, destroying human creativity and joy in the process. He brilliantly caricatures the monotony of an increasingly practical world where facts are amassed for their own sake at the expense of a more humane and varied existence."--Provided by Publisher.
